Market Report

 

Saturday 28th November 2020

Auctioneers: Philip Dale & Tim Webster.

Notes

195 Head of Cattle & Calves

Store and Breeding Cattle

A much lighter show of store cattle found demand outstripping supply yet again. The stronger types have been selling better recently and trading was no different even though we rarely see real big ones, our medium cattle sold to £1080 and looked expensive. The smaller are more variable with good shaped sorts outselling plainer types. Not many put reserves on these days,  however those that did saw prices up to £280 over the reserve. You do not need to be Albert Einstien to work out how the trade was !!
